Despite not being on the practice field on Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans remained busy in other ways, with the team making roster moves and holding tryouts with three different players.
Before we get to the tryouts, the Titans promoted defensive lineman Kyle Peko from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. To make room, fellow defensive lineman Jayden Peevy was waived.

Now, a look at the three tryouts, which includes two defensive backs and a tight end, according to the league’s transactions wire. Tennessee is likely looking at these players for their open practice squad spot if Peevy isn’t brought back, or if there are injuries at the aforementioned positions.
TE Kendall Blanton
A former undrafted free-agent signing of the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, Blanton has appeared in 16 games (two starts) during his career, tallying six receptions for 72 yards. He was most recently with the Kansas City Chiefs before being waived on cutdown day. The interest in him likely has to do with his blocking, but he also has special teams experience.
DB Anthony Chesley
Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019, the Coastal Carolina product has played in 19 games over the past three years, including three with the Houston Texans (2020), nine with the Indianapolis Colts (2021) and seven with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2022). He’s played mostly on special teams but does have 103 career defensive snaps.
DB Michael Ojemudia
Ojemudia was drafted in the third round by the Denver Broncos in 2020 and has played snaps in 22 games (12 starts) during his career, 21 of which came with the Broncos from 2020-22. He was a full-time starter for Denver in 2020. He most recently saw the field as a member of the Chicago Bears during the 2022 campaign. Ojemudia has some special teams experience, also.
